I told you this blog wouldn’t be just for swanky food – here is another comfort food for you! If you get this kind of thing from KFC you get a whole piece with the skin on and a bone in the middle, I used bonless and skinless thighs for this – just because that …

I am not usually squeamish about touching raw meat but I must admit this did feel a bit wrong, maybe just because its not a meat I have used before. I have always wanted to give this a go though as I love beef that has been cooked until it is falling apart I spotted …

It’s that time again – Aldi bring back the wagyu burgers and people start buying in bulk so that they are all gone within a day! I had to stop myself at 4 packets as it looked a bit greedy! The first time I tried and even heard of Wagyu beef was in Japan at …
